I can't make much sense of it, just calling random methods, reading the
text buffers etc. So I can't give you much feedback now.

I'm not sure how thread-safe versoo is. The intent was to have it
calling callback_update when the interactive interpreter is waiting for
input, not in scripts. But I haven't had any crashes or strange behavior
yet.

I've added bitmap node and object link stuff, plus wrote/generated some
docs using epydoc:
